Christopher Riley, co-curator of the NASA material presented in Intermission, speaks about the origins of the NASA film archive and its preservation, and explains the technical demands of filming in space and the continuing importance of this footage.

Intermission’s Thursday Night Features series includes curator’s talks and special screenings, offering visitors the chance to see feature films, explore the archives, meet the curators, and discover rare and experimental footage in a cinematic atmosphere. From 7 to 10 pm the galleries shift to become spaces for conversation and relaxing, with music and cash bar. Screenings are repeated on Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30 pm.
